Head to Kilkenny to venture through the medieval city and bump into a haunt or two.

The Kilkenny people have told stories for generations, handed down to become far more than hearsay.

Kilkenny’s ghostly tales all have one very important thing in common they are all based around fact and arise from genuine historic tragedies. Each tour will be guide by one of the characters (The Witch, Dr Death, Highwayman, Priest Hunter, the Monk or the Banshee).
